  2. To operate structured programs that address specific needs of young people.

  3. To advance, teach, and model spiritual growth and beliefs associated with the Christian faith.

  4. To advance education by providing sail training bursaries or other forms of financial assistance to young people from challenging life situations.

WHY YOUR DONATION MATTERS
The future lies in the hands of young people, so let’s give them the helm! On board SALTS ships young people rise to the challenge. They step up, stand up, and live tall every day. They learn the value of hard work, real-life (off-screen) adventures, and overcoming obstacles. We help them understand their full potential and that they are loved and accepted for who they are. When they return to shore, they’ve tasted the abundance of community life and experienced the deep satisfaction of working together. Trainees often say they feel empowered to be their authentic selves, they are more aware of the needs of others, and they feel more confident in the face of life’s challenges.

HOW YOUR DONATION HELPS
  • Donations for use "where most needed" give us the most flexibility to ensure every gift is used in the most effective way. Our spending is limited to Board-approved programs and purchases.

  • Donations can be directed towards schooner maintenance and upgrade projects. These will prolong the life of our schooners Pacific Swift and Pacific Grace, and enhance the trainee experience and safety. A major refit of Pacific Swift is happening over the next couple of winters.

  • Gifts can be designated to help SALTS build a new schooner. Construction is expected to begin in 2020.

  • Donations can be designated to bursaries for young people with financial needs or those going through challenging life situations. Note: bursaries are largely funded through 2021 so this is not currently our area of greatest need.
We are a registered charity in Canada (BN 119133619BC0001) and we have tax exempt (FORGN) status in the USA. Our finances are audited annually by an independent accounting firm. Donors are encouraged to seek the advice of an independent financial professional regarding any charitable gifts that might have a significant impact on their finances.
